Have a feeling this is as much a PR move for the rest of the group as it is an actual split. BNL was always pretty scandal-free and I can't think that Page being arrested for drugs was a popular thing with their new children's album to be released.
I doubt either side will go all that far sadly - much as I have loved BNL since the release of their indie album pre-Gordon back in 1991(?) or so, the last few years haven't been their best.
I will absolutely miss the concerts tho.....the shows were waaaaaaaay fun....
